I can seem to get my 914 to not run Rich. I have checked Injector spray paterns, replaced cap,rotor, points, condensor,plugs, plug wires. and belive that my vacuum routing is correct. I question the integrety of the MPS. if i remove the vacuum hose that runs to it and clamp it off i get no change at all in performance. I was told by a co-worker that i should drill out the riviots and check to see if it is gummed up. I just removed it and am getting ready to take it apart, when out of curiousity I ohm checked the teminals and this is what i got : pin 8 - pin 10 350 ohms, pin 7 - pin 15 90 ohms. is this normal? does anyone know of any way to check the MPS. Or could any one do a quick ohm check on theese terminals to let me know if that is a correct reading? any help would be greatly apreciated.

All MPS's are basically the same. Some are short nosed some are long nosed, some have different spring rates.
I use a Waveteck to calibrate them to my known data which is very similar to BradAnders data. I do have a NOS 043 that I use to check the wavetek everytime before I calibrate a unit. The 037 (73 2.0l) has way different settings than the 049 and 043. The 049 and 043 are pretty much the same except for the WOT settings. You can set up a MPS though and it will spec out perfectly then go for a drive and it runs like shit! These units are old so if you want perfect running car get a new one! I harvest good diaphrams out of MPS's then rebuild them for 2.0l's. The AA rebuilt MPS's I have seen are junk ! Geoff |
